The White-tailed Deer mhabit the Oregon, and they were 
found to be most numerous near the cvast of the Pacific Ocean. 
Their range on that coast.is up to the fifteenth degree of latitude, 
and probably much further north. At the Umpqua River, in 
lat. 43°, they give place to the Black-tailed Deer, C. Lewisit, 
which occupy the country south of that parallel to the almost 
entire exclusion of these.—T. Peale, U. S. Explor. Exped. 38. 
We believe that the same species of Deer inhabits all the tim- 
bered or partially timbered country between the coast of the At- 
lantic and Pacific Oceans. They vary in size, as all the animals 
of this genus do, in different feeding-grounds, but they are spe- 
cifically the same. When alarmed, this species always erects its 
tail, which being white beneath, is a conspicuous object, and 
when running the tail is kept erect and wagged from side to side.
